Thanks--that tells me it's using the slightly older version of the
Charis SIL font, but that version still claims to support small caps.
(I also discovered that someone created both a ttF/ and a ttf/ subdir
under /usr/share/fonts, but the contents appear to be identical.)
Let me try a different way to get at this problem. I'd like to try
using \fontspec to load some font that I know has small caps.
If I don't use \fontspec{Charis SIL}, xelatex picks some default font,
and small caps work. So I thought maybe I could explicitly tell
\fontspec to load that font. But afaict, the log file (with font
tracing turned on) doesn't tell me what this default font is. There's
something about 'eu1lmr', but that doesn't appear to be an actual font.
Can anyone tell me what the xelatex default font is, and where the .ttf
file is in the texlive distro?
